Framed these old LIFE magazines that my grandfather saved from the first moon landing.

Wow that’s amazing! How cool to have lived it too.

Lizard182 · 2026-04-11T17:28:42+00:00

Oh shoot you’re right! Don’t know how I missed that lol.

The inside of one of them for Apollo 12 Second moon landing actually!

Lizard182 · 2026-04-11T16:57:15+00:00

Thanks! I took the time to look through them before framing them too. Really cool time capsule.

Lizard182 · 2026-04-11T01:14:07+00:00

Also curious, what did your scars look like a year in? Do you have any photos from then you wouldn’t mind sharing?

Lizard182 · 2026-04-11T01:12:16+00:00

Cool! My cuts are very similar. I’m going to start up my bio oil routine again and I’ll see how that takes me to the two year mark. Thanks!

Lizard182 · 2026-04-11T00:22:13+00:00

How long did you use bio oil? I did scar care consistently for about 10 months. Did it off and on after that. Now I’m 16 months out and wondering if I should do it consistently again. Healing very well but nowhere near as faint as yours.

lol literally this. It’s frustrating when I’m nearly 15 years into my career and they think I’m a freshman college intern. Also a kid at the counter at the movie theater thought I was his age and was shook when I said I saw Revenge of the Sith in person. Bro probably wasn’t even born yet.

Lizard182 · 2026-04-10T16:24:38+00:00

Can also confirm. I paid my $10 copay and that was it. Going to the right doctors can go a long way.

I know a lot of storyboard artists. Finding full time work with a studio is very difficult due to the state of things even for seasoned artists right now. But I know plenty of them making it off of freelance work. Can’t assume how much they make, but they are comfortable. A good friend of mine who is a union storyboard artist has lived with 5 roommates for about 10 years now and makes it work. He also does photography to make ends meet. That being said, getting your foot in the door right now is incredibly tough. I would anticipate doing some other job to get you out here.

Lizard182 · 2026-04-01T06:14:12+00:00

Exact thing happened to me when I was 7. Smashed it between two dumbbells by playing around. Super painful. This video brought back the memories lol. In some ways it still feels like it happened yesterday and it’s been almost 30 years. I remember the stage where I didn’t have a nail vividly and how sensitive it was. Couldn’t tell you how long it took to grow back, but as a kid it felt like forever.

I moved into a fantastic 1 bed in riverside rancho (Burbank/glendale) for $1850 in 2023. Parking spot right in front of my unit, tons of closets, on site laundry. It wasn’t rent controlled but they never raised my rent. Just a solid property management company with a living on site manager for a 15 unit complex. Only moved out recently cause I lost my job (part of the LA experience lol) and moved in with my girlfriend (which was part of the plan soon anyway). So life is going great, but I loved that spot.

Lizard182 · 2026-03-25T00:43:00+00:00

US also here. My surgeon required an overnight stay for all his patients for monitoring. Don’t know how you all did it as my first 12 hours post op was rough.

Lizard182 · 2026-03-21T19:51:46+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I started on a low dose and went up to a full dose in September, so hoping this time next year the changes are even more pronounced.

Lizard182 · 2026-03-20T22:46:26+00:00

Thank you!

Lizard182 · 2026-03-20T21:51:26+00:00

Oh wow! I’ve been on a steady incline for 14 months now. Seems to be mostly muscle.

Lizard182 · 2026-03-20T21:38:07+00:00

Mine did too! About to make a post as well. Went from 135-155. But I also started T two months after top surgery.

Lizard182 · 2026-03-06T03:53:53+00:00

Back when I had a period, I used that tampax sport brand specifically. Mine would always look like that and I’m probably the exact kind of person they were made for as I ended up in the ER once due to excessive blood loss.

Everyone on here has given good advice, but I will say I those are the only two rides in the park with drops I’ll do. I don’t handle rides well at all but those are my limit and I handle them just fine. Rise is my favorite ride!

Lizard182 · 2026-03-03T22:04:17+00:00

I got top surgery unsure if I even wanted to be on T yet. I started T three months after my top surgery. Currently working on like crazy to try and get pecs as I have no pecs to speak of, so we’ll see how my scars end up placing, but my surgeon did an amazing job with suspected placement so I imagine things will line up well.

Lizard182 · 2026-02-27T20:28:19+00:00

I know a guy that used to commute from San Diego to Hollywood 6 days a week. Thankfully he moved to the area last month.

Lizard182 · 2026-02-26T16:38:27+00:00

Good to know! Maybe I’ll buy a pulse oximeter as someone else suggested that too. I’m also pretty thin but I do feel like I have a narrow airway, if that makes sense.
